Sport can change lives.
There are few better feelings than to throw yourself into the race, the swim, the match, or by lifting those weights.
Pushing yourself further than you ever thought possible.
Showing the world what you’re capable of.
Sport will give you a chance to harness that warrior spirit and determination, that was a big part of who you were in the military.
Our Sport, Activity and Fellowship teams are out in force helping people back into the sport they love. And helping people try something new.
